Xue Chongxun saw the Gao family in the front hall of the Chengxiang Palace, and the two spoke politely for a while, the Gao family mainly asked about the physical condition of Princess Taiping, and looked very concerned. Xue Chongxun only said that he still needed to recuperate, and he did not elaborate, the Gao family, who lived in the Daming Palace, probably knew more about Princess Taiping's situation than himself.

After asking Princess Taiping, Gao asked about the counterinsurgency war. Xue Chongxun said in his heart that women are most likely not interested in the process of fighting and killing, but seeing that Gao Shi made a serious appearance and wanted to hear it, it was nothing more than wanting to talk to herself more and strengthen the relationship.

He said very simply: "Labor and money, killing and killing, all the way from Cijian to Dongdu are full of dead corpses and wounded soldiers, and the grief is unbearable to see." ”

Just a sentence, Gao naturally couldn't feel the tragedy, but she also made a gloomy look, and their expressions and movements were very appropriate.

Xue Chongxun felt that this serious way of speaking was really depressing, as if he was talking to an old man in the court, but the queen in front of him was obviously only in her teens...... Xue Chongxun couldn't help but look at her between words, a goose-egg-shaped face, a full and smooth forehead, although heavy makeup was smeared, it still couldn't hide the traces of youth.

She seemed to be deliberately dressing herself as an old man, wearing a wide hairpin dress, wearing a nine-day hairpin on her head, and the large-sleeved variegated dress without Zhai patterns looked really incompatible on her body, just like a girl wearing an old woman's clothes. Moreover, Gao's figure is thinner, and he can't support this kind of clothes, and his waist looks empty.

The weirdest thing is the golden fake finger in her hand, when she sits dignifiedly, the fake finger is placed on her knee, and there are various patterns carved on it, Xue Chongxun can't see what is carved on it when he sits farther away. But in his impression, only the Empress Dowager Cixi wears a false finger, and now seeing a young woman wearing it, the feeling can be imagined.

Her expression was as strange as a false finger, serious, even if she sometimes smiled and sometimes looked sad, she made seven points, and revealed it as needed. He spoke slowly, and every word was pondered, which really didn't match his crisp voice...... With this kind of voice, Xue Chongxun felt that he should speak briskly like Bai Qimei.

In short, Empress Gao's impression of Xue Chongxun was: an old girl.

Seeing that Xue Chongxun was reluctant to say much about the war, she showed a faint smile a little embarrassed, and lowered her head to get her false finger, she should be taking the opportunity to think about a new topic.

Seeing this, Xue Chongxun made an exception and took the initiative to speak: "After the capture of the Eastern Capital, the local officials held a celebration banquet, and I met a beautiful woman named the Oiran on the twenty-fourth floor there, which was somewhat interesting. ”

Gao Shi immediately showed a very interested look, and said slowly: "I have also heard of Oiran, it must be very beautiful, Xue Lang is really unruly." ”

Xue Chongxun heard that it was not only men who were interested in beautiful women, but also women, but he didn't know if the interest expressed by Gao was real...... In Xue Chongxun's opinion, this woman's life is not real at all, just like acting all the time.

He said: "To win such a big reputation, her appearance is naturally good, her name is Bu Feiyan, of course, most of them are stage names and not real names, I have never met people with the surname Bu." ”

Gao suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I heard in the palace that Xue Lang composed a poem at the banquet in the Eastern Capital, called 'The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and does not ......return', which was written at the celebration banquet?" ”

Xue Chongxun laughed and said: "I didn't expect it to spread so quickly, yes, that time, Bu Feiyan asked everyone to compose lyrics to sing, and I had to do it, so I had to be ugly." ”

"Xue Lang is not ugly, he compares the talents of the Eastern Capital. Most of the women were impressed by Xue Lang's talent, is there a good story of a talented and beautiful woman? Gao gently raised his big sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and his eyes smiled like a moon bay.

Xue Chongxun shook his head and said: "The living people in the world are not as idle and interesting as in the story, she approached me not because of her talent, but for Yao Chong to intercede." ”

Gao's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said slowly: "If you want to avoid Yao Chong's capital crime, I'm afraid it will ......."

Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "The queen misunderstood, I didn't say this to help Yao Chong intercede, although he and I have no holidays, and I don't have any friendship, I can't just go against the Tang Dynasty's law for the sake of a courtesan, I have to save him Yao Chong, right?" ”

Gao nodded thoughtfully.

Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "Don't be so tense Queen, let's not talk about business, I mentioned that Bu Feiyan should be another interesting little thing." ”

"Xue Lang, tell me, how interesting is it?" Gao looked at him with a smile.

Xue Chongxun began to talk nonsense: "That Oiran will be a person's character, and the gameplay is very novel, I think it's quite accurate...... It's not a fortune teller, don't have a birthday, you just need to know that you were born on a certain day in a certain month. ”

He said in his heart that anyway, Gao Shigui is the queen, and he doesn't want to have the opportunity to meet a courtesan in this life, just put it on Bu Feiyan, and find a source for his nonsense.

Gao Shi said: "How to novelty? ”

Xue Chongxun said: "It is said that it is from the country of Fu (Eastern Rome), isn't there twelve months in a year, and she compares the twelve months one by one with the twelve constellations in the sky." Then put people's birthdays together, and you can find your own constellation. Each zodiac sign has some characteristics, and hence the personality of the person is also different from each other. ”

"It's really a novelty, I've never heard of it before." Gao said with interest, "What star is Xue Lang?" Accurately? ”

Xue Chongxun said: "Naturally, I think it's interesting to say it accurately, what is the queen's birthday?" How do I give you the math? ”

Gao looked a little embarrassed, but this time he should be really interested, and said in a low voice: "I was born on the Double Ninth Festival." ”

Xue Chongxun's current calendar can barely be counted as a lunar calendar, but the constellations are said to be Western, so they are naturally solar calendars...... There's only a rough estimate, anyway, it's idle nonsense, and if you don't estimate what it belongs to her, it's not a big deal. He pinched his fingers in a foolish manner and said, "The queen belongs to the Scorpion." ”

Probably because the word "scorpion" is not a good word in people's hearts, it is reminiscent of words such as "heart is like a poisonous scorpion", Gao frowned slightly. Xue Chongxun naturally didn't expect so much just now, and when he saw this, he sighed in his heart, and he had already thought of talking nonsense about Aries or Pisces, some cute animal...... Fortunately, now I am not afraid of the queen, and I don't have to stutter all the time, if it is an ordinary person who makes the queen unhappy like this, it is obviously a very bad thing.

Xue Chongxun hurriedly explained: "There is no good or bad among the twelve constellations in the sky, but they can be named whatever they look like, and there is no malice. ”

The unhappiness on Gao's face quickly disappeared, and he said quietly: "What is a Scorpio like that day?" ”

Xue Chongxun sighed secretly in his heart, the people in the heart and the center of power couldn't talk easily, he originally wanted to gossip, but he didn't expect to make others think more if he wasn't careful...... I'm afraid that Gao still thinks that he is talking about big things by using small things.

He was a little depressed, but he continued to say that he would naturally continue, and he thought for a while and could only say what he remembered: "Born in the depths of autumn, calm and wise, calm and indifferent on the surface, but it can be a volcano on the inside......" According to his memory, he slowly said a rough idea with a piece of nonsense.

After a long time, Gao lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

Xue Chongxun reminded: "I'm just talking about playing, the queen doesn't need to think about it, and she doesn't know if it's accurate." The specific fortune telling is still inaccurate when it comes to the eight characters of the birthday, not to mention this kind of rough calculation based on months. ”

Gao raised his head and smiled a little, noncommittal.

At this time, Xue Chongxun turned his head to look at the position of the sun outside the door, and Gao said: "It's time for lunch, so let's stop here today, may His Highness Taiping recover from his illness as soon as possible...... By the way, there is one more serious thing I forgot to say: Xue Lang is a pillar of the country, and now he is a prince, so he should be guarded by the guards, the Flying Tiger Regiment was originally a guard, and the Southern Ya can't control it. ”

Xue Chongxun hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty is the queen." ”

Gao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Xue Erlang was asked by His Royal Highness to return to Hedong, do you think he should be allowed to return to Beijing to restore the throne?" ”

The Gao family continued to give benefits to Xue Chongxun's people, which was naturally an expression of the sincerity of the alliance, but she was indeed a little embarrassed about Erlang Xue Chongjian's matter: everyone in the royal family knew that Erlang was a person who was inclined to Li Longji before, so Princess Taiping was dissatisfied and was demoted back to Hedong.

Although Princess Taiping can no longer be in charge, things are still complicated, and now both the Taiping Party and the royal family are vigilant and precautionary against Li Dan's family. Because the current emperor Li Shouli is a person who belongs to Prince Zhang Huai, Li Dan is the brother of Prince Zhang Huai, and they are two equal branches in blood. In the past, when Li Dan was on the throne, Prince Zhang Huai was weak, and naturally he did not have the strength to be a rival of the imperial power, but despite this, Li Shouli, who was the son of Prince Zhang Huai, was also sent far away, and was actually sent to Youzhou to make a history of assassination, of course, the farther away from Beijing, the better.

Now that Prince Zhang Huai has taken the throne by mistake, he has to guard against the people on Li Dan's side, not to mention that Li Dan is still cultivating in Shangqing before he dies.

Xue Chongxun understood these things, and when he heard Queen Gao ask, he said: "The second brother has no real fault, and it is indeed a little wronged to be cut off the throne...... However, the second brother said last time that he was not satisfied with the water and soil of Chang'an, so he let him stay in Hedong. ”

He said this is a both, helping his brother to win the throne is to value family affection, and Jian yì left Erlang in Hedong to meet the needs of the royal family, and the people on Li Shouli's side, including Empress Gao, of course did not want to see a prince who had been inclined to Li Dan stay in Chang'an.
